Roasted New Potatoes

Because most of their nutrients are directly beneath the skin, don't peel new potatoes. Just scrub and cook.

Making 8 servings.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds small new potatoes (scrubbed)
2 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil
3 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
1/2 teaspoon crumbled rosemary (optional)

1- Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, mix the potatoes with the garlic, oil, and rosemary, if using.

2- Transfer to a roasting pan and roast about 45 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

Tip:
Look for smooth-skinned solid potatoes. Avoid potatoes that are blemished or sprouting and those with a green color, which will taste bitter.
